Okay, now something interesting for you glitchers. You can get outside of the map! So Far it does nothing other than bring you out of the map, but hopefully you hardcore glitchers can find something. :)

Read more about the glitch (also with a video). Link.

If someone finds anything interesting about it, please tell me in the forums. You will be credited of course. :)

	Next in line, Brauner!
	Persona on November 24 2006

A video showing Brauner in action. All of his attacks are shown except for two (one of them is just a different angle of his paint strokes which is an X). Quality of the video is crap since I used my laptop's built-in camera. :(

	Portrait of Ruin last battle video (beware, spoilers!).
	Persona on November 23 2006

A video showing the last battle in Portrait of Ruin, for you people who wanted to see it. Hope you don't mind the horrible gameplay though, since it was played in a very awkward position, making it difficult to play. Also my friend, Zadisma, had only 6 minutes left on his battery before his video camera goes bye bye, and has lost his battery recharger, so the video got cut off during the battle.

If you don't like spoilers, I suggest you don't watch the video.

Big thanks to Zadisma for helping with the recording.

	Portrait of Ruin music rips and Stella/Loretta basics &  techniques.
	Persona on November 20 2006

The music rip is up (which was taken down months ago due to being leaked). All 36 tracks from the game. Good soundtrack? Bad? Well go and find out. :)

You can get it at the downloads page. Link.

Stella and Loretta basics and techniques, for people who want a challenge playing Hard Mode on level 1 or into speed running. If you think the sisters are basic and don't differ, guess again. Link.

And I'm starting to become lazy to get a new avatar every update. :/

	Portrait of Ruin glitch. Unlimited quest prizes.
	Persona on November 19 2006

EDIT: corrected some errors about the glitch.

A glitch for Portrait of Ruin for extra amount of quest prizes, meaning you can get up to 9 of a quest item or unlimited amount of HP MAX and MP MAX up. Good for players who needs that extra boost of HP, MP, items or money (reselling the items you get from the glitch). Link.

	A little of new and a lot of old.
	Persona on November 18 2006

A quick update since stuff is starting to pile up (was going to update all of it together with the Portrait of Ruin videos but it seems making the videos is delayed due to friend being busy). And yes, I'll still try to get gameplay videos up before the US release for you people who have to wait for the US release.

The new stuff.

Portrait of Ruin maps for you people who are too lazy to wear the Peeping Eye headgear and run all over the place looking for hidden walls, ceilings, etc. These were made by AreX from ndsbbs.com (chinese DS site) so all credit goes to him/her. Link.

The old stuff.

Castlevania damage boosts page. Basically shortcuts. Link.
Castlevania Chronicle basics and maps. Links.
Castlevania Curse of Darkness ID growth stats, and a whole bunch of boss bush strats for Hector. Link.
